.POTUS's stand against the wishes of DC's liberal leaders marked a rare instance of Biden choosing his political future as a centrist over the excesses of his party.
The drama over criminal justice reforms put forward by the D.C. Council continued to boil over on Monday when the council’s president withdrew a crime bill the U.S. Senate was preparing to strike down in a bipartisan vote later this week.The move does not appear enough to stop the vote from moving forward, however; Senate leadership aides said lawmakers will still take up a resolution disapproving of the reforms.
"As both a resident of D.C. and a supporter of this president, I think he did the right thing when it comes to announcing his intent not to veto the congressional resolution disapproving of the city council’s criminal code changes,” Walling said. In doing so, he deflected a powerful line of attack that Republicans would have hammered heading into 2024.
“[The White House] gave a signal that led the House Democrats to take a certain action, and the president then took a different position when he came to the Senate,” Durbin told CNN on Monday.
